Are there any dietary restrictions when taking Lapatinib?

There are no specific contraindications while taking lapatinib (Lapatinib). However, as with other medications, a healthy diet is critical to a patient's overall health and effectiveness of treatment. Patients are advised to follow a balanced diet while reducing intake of high-fat, sugary and processed foods to maintain good nutritional status and overall health. Since lapatinib may have certain effects on the liver, patients are advised to avoid using large amounts of alcohol at the same time, as alcohol will increase the burden on the liver. In addition, grapefruit and grapefruit juice should also be avoided because some of the ingredients in them may interfere with the metabolism of anti-cancer drugs, thereby affecting the effectiveness of the drugs in the body.
